14 DAY TRIAL // WhatsApp is one of the companies that keep updating the official client on Windows Phone quite frequently despite the criticism aimed against the platform, and the development of the beta version is actually advancing at a really fast pace.
Most recently, an update released for the beta version brings an improved UI on Windows Phone devices, with a redesigned app bar that’s supposed to bring the app in line with the design language used by Microsoft for Windows 10 and its own apps.
The new app bar holds the buttons for voice recording and send message, probably in an attempt to make it easier to chat with just one hand. Screenshots posted by aggiornamentilumia.it (via MSPU) show this new interface implemented in WhatsApp, but it appears that the beta version is actually quite slow and buggy as compared to the previous updates.
The source claims that some of these problems can be fixed by simply removing and re-installing the app, but it’s very clear that since this is still in beta development stage, some problems are very likely to be experienced.
There’s no word on when exactly users who aren’t running the beta version could get access to this new user interface, but since WhatsApp is updating its Windows Phone client regularly, this could happen anytime in the coming months.
